Is it me, or this looks like a covert Microsoft > Ubuntu takeover?
Long time Ubuntu user, first time I see release notes mentioning a brand. More exactly, tailored to a brand.
I'm a bit worried. I was Microsoft-free for decades, now everything around me (repository, programming language, editor, package manager, operating system??) starts to be Microsoft again.
It's perhaps nothing wrong with this. But I guess there is a certain cohort which will never forgive and forget the Microsoft deeds.
- LucidLynx 5y agoSo, because it is an « Open source operating system based on Linux » Ubuntu might just forget every partnerships to make his distribution more « work friendly » for the average consumer? That’s a bit too extremist... You’re still free to not use the Microsoft products integration.

- aritmo 5y agoIt's not a "Microsoft takeover". Whoever wrote the release notes, shows a focus to business users rather than the community.
- tsjq 5y agoMicrosoft now Embracing Ubuntu/Linux. We know their Embrace-Extend-Extinguish.
